Our money is just as green as the Republican Nat'l Committee's. :-)

Convention centers are big places. Virtually no convention maxes out an
entire facility. There are always concurrent events in a big convention
center. There are always small meeting rooms available, like the ones
that hold 480 (theater style) and split in three to hold 160/each.
That room is listed at $1165/day. Cheaper than the "cheap" space at
GWU. Basic room rate is $3500 for thee days, or less than $20/person @
200 people.
I call that cheap. :-)
